"Perfect place to stay in Franschhoek"

10.0

We had the perfect stay at Akademie. The staff could not do anything more for you, always offering drinks and making sure you had everything you needed. The breakfast was probably one of the best hotel breakfasts I have had. And the setting is just stunning by the pool and in the orangerie. Also great location being able to walk to the local restaurants and attractions. Rooms are also very quiet and spacious and we slept very well.

"Transformative!"

10.0

This is an extraordinary boutique hotel. Their attention to detail is extraordinary and the decor, gardens and staff are the cream of the crop! Babs and Carin are so warm and welcoming and Declan the Host Extraordinaire was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable ….and indeed planned every minute of our 3 night stay and we had a truly fabulous time! From the best restaurants in town (French Connection, Rueben & Allora) and a perfect selection of great wineries, from family run, to bling wineries and oldest. Every recommendation Declan made was spot on the money! One of a kind experience…highly recommend!

"Absolute Perfection at Akademie"

10.0

Absolute Perfection at Akademie Our 3-night stay in the honeymoon room at Akademie was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, thoughtfulness, and a level of personalised service that made us feel genuinely cherished - Declan and Babs are a hoot!! The honeymoon suite was a blend of luxury and romance – beautifully styled with exquisite attention to detail, from the plush linens and cozy fireplace to the private outdoor hot tub under the stars. Every evening felt like a fairytale. The team at Akademie went above and beyond, surprising us with little touches that made our celebrationtruly unforgettable – fresh flowers, bubbles, and the kind of hospitality you can’t quite put into words. Breakfasts were indulgent and delicious, and the evening drinks by the fire pit created such a relaxed, intimate vibe. The setting is serene and stunning, perfectly nestled in Franschhoek with easy access to world-class wine estates and restaurants. But honestly, we could’ve spent all three days just enjoying the beauty and tranquility of the property itself. Akademie isn’t just a place to stay – it’s a feeling. Romantic, elegant, and unforgettable. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return . Thank you for making our celebration more special than we could’ve imagined.
